Temps & Clock check

[EL_JOCK]

Hi Everyone,

Had my real first go at overclocking my CPU, (E8400 CO), I'm starting at 3.6GHZ, below are the temps and volts etc can anyone offer advice if i could get more out. Think i'm right in saying the CO was not great for overclocking.

Much of the info is out of CPU-Z and real temp. The following was on prime for 30 mins (not a great deal of time i know, will go longer later), when i first started it would lock the pc up after about 2 mins so i up'd the vcore

Vcore 1.312 (drops to 1.29 once prime is at 100%)
Mem Vot 2.1
CPU 3.6GHZ (multi 9 / 1600mhz)

Peak Temp's (after 30 mins)

CPU 53.c
Core 0 58.c
core 1 56.c

Help & advice would be great,

Many thanks

Bit of an update on the above,

ran Intel burn test (20 runs) passed fine, temps got much higher than prime, just running prime now at 30mins again looking good,

Only thing i looked to take it to 3.8ghz, but the pc fails to post any ideas on what i need to do i.e is it more vcore time??

many thanks

Cool,

Good to know i'm on the right track with temps, still trying to work out whats wrong with the 3.8 failing to post, but will keep an update going, also over 1hr30mins now prime and still going well.

nice one

Ok,

Sounds good can try some Crysis and other game benchmarks to see how my comp does now, wicked.
